WARNING!
• Do not attempt to seal a tire on the side of the vehicle closest to traffic. Pull far
enough off the road to avoid the danger of being hit when using the Tire Service
Kit.
• Do not use Tire Service Kit or drive the vehicle under the following circum-
stances:
• If the puncture in the tire tread is approximately 1/4” (6 mm) or larger.
• If the tire has any sidewall damage.
• If the tire has any damage from driving with extremely low tire pressure.
• If the tire has any damage from driving on a flat tire.
• If the wheel has any damage.
• If you are unsure of the condition of the tire or the wheel.
• Keep Tire Service Kit away from open flames or heat source.
• A loose Tire Service Kit thrown forward in a collision or hard stop could
endanger the occupants of the vehicle. Always stow the Tire Service Kit in the
place provided. Failure to follow these warnings can result in injuries that are
serious or fatal to you, your passengers, and others around you.
• Take care not to allow the contents of Tire Service Kit to come in contact with
hair, eyes, or clothing. Tire Service Kit sealant is harmful if inhaled, swallowed,
or absorbed through the skin. It causes skin, eye, and respiratory irritation.
Flush immediately with plenty of water if there is any contact with eyes or skin.
Change clothing as soon as possible, if there is any contact with clothing.
• Tire Service Kit Sealant solution contains latex. In case of an allergic reaction
or rash, consult a physician immediately. Keep Tire Service Kit out of reach of
children. If swallowed, rinse mouth immediately with plenty of water and drink
plenty of water. Do not induce vomiting! Consult a physician immediately.
Insert the power plug into the vehicle power outlet socket. Start the vehicle engine.
Push the Tire Service Kit power button to the “I” position. The electric compressor
will be turned on, sealant and air will inflate the tire.
Minimum 26 psi (1.8 bar) of pressure should be reached within 20 minutes. If the
pressure has not been reached turn off and remove the Tire Service Kit, drive the
vehicle 30 feet (10 meters) back and forth, to better distribute the sealant inside the
tire.
Attach the clear flexible filling tube of the compressor directly to the tire valve and
repeat the inflation process.
When the correct pressure has been reached, start driving the vehicle to uniformly
distribute the sealant inside the tire. After 10 minutes, stop and check the tire
pressure. If the pressure is below 19 psi (1.3 bar), do not drive the vehicle, as the tire
is too damaged, contact the nearest Authorized Dealer.

Proper towing or lifting equipment is required to prevent damage to your vehicle. Use
only tow bars and other equipment designed for this purpose, following equipment
manufacturer’s instructions. Use of safety chains is mandatory. Attach a tow bar or
other towing device to main structural members of the vehicle, not to bumpers or
associated brackets. State and local laws regarding vehicles under tow must be
observed.
NOTE:
Vehicles with a discharged battery or total electrical failure when the Electric Park
Brake (EPB) is engaged, will need a wheel dolly or jack to raise the rear wheels off the
ground when moving the vehicle onto a flatbed.
If you must use the accessories (wipers, defrosters, etc.) while being towed, the
ignition must be in the MAR/RUN position. If the key fob is unavailable, or the
vehicle’s battery is discharged, refer to “Shift Lever Override” in this section for
instructions on shifting the transmission out of PARK so that the vehicle can be
moved.
CAUTION!
• Do not use sling type equipment when towing. Vehicle damage may occur.
• When securing the vehicle to a flat bed truck, do not attach to front or rear
suspension components. Damage to your vehicle may result from improper
towing.
